John Edward Ferris (born July 24, 1949) is an American former competition swimmer, Olympic medalist, and former world record-holder.
Ferris won two bronze medals at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City: one in the men's 200-meter individual medley and one in the men's 200-meter butterfly. His third-place finish in the 200-meter individual medley completed an American sweep of the event, with Charlie Hickcox taking first and Greg Buckingham taking second.
